PLEASANTON — Despite the warm weather this week, the city has closed one trail and cautions of damaged trails due to recent downed trees, road erosion and mudslides.

A section of the Centennial Trail between Main Street and Harvest Circle is closed due to downed trees and road erosion. Only when the water level recedes will crews be able to start making repairs, according to the city.

Last week, torrential flows on the Arroyo De La Laguna Creek chipped away at the backyards to the large bucolic homes along the 7800 block of Foothill Road. Three homeowners on that road were concerned as parts of their backyard fell into the nearby creek.

At Augustin Bernal Park on the Golden Eagle and Valley View trail several mudslides have also reduced the width of the road. Warning signs give a heads up to pedestrians, cyclists and those on horses as the road does remain passable. Repairs are expected this spring.

Similarly, at both the Alamo Canal and Arroyo Mucho trails, multiple mudslides have also reduced the roadway, although it’s still usable for both pedestrians and cyclists. There is no estimate on when repairs would occur on these trails.

“We are working to keep the trails open for our residents while we address these issues and encourage users to use these noted trail sections with caution,” said Kathleen Yurchak, director of Operations and Water Utilities.
